Lance Tooks' second volume "Darlin' Niki" in his quartet entitled "Lucifer's Garden of Verses", from NBM Publishing, has received 4 nominations for the Glyph Awards for outstanding achievement in black comics. The series has been coming out at a rate of 2 books per year with the third out last December and the last one scheduled for June. "Darlin' Niki" tells the story of a teen girl who's been used by her father as his cute mascot for his mega-corporation until she leaves in a fractious dispute. Seemingly light, the series is full of singeing irony and bears repeated readings for its many layered parodies.
